“Humber Vision” developed by the three sectors.
They range in climate from the warm temperate waters of the south-west approaches, to deep sub-arctic waters between the
Faroe Isles and Norway, where the water temperature rarely exceeds 0 deg C.
This will be achieved by drawing together and developing existing partnerships (i.e. HERAG, HAG and Humber
INCA) and building upon their strong track record of delivering positive outcomes for the natural environment.
Present the estuary as a single entity and work to deliver practical solutions across the Humber Estuary coastal landscape.
Production as well as hosting major carbon capture, gas distribution and near-shore storage facilities.
The magazine has been designed to illustrate the changes the region is experiencing with the onset of the new energy era.

At present, only 2% of the UK's seas are covered by marine protected areas.
Following advice received from HAG through their ongoing monitoring of these activities.
HMS secured funding to carry a consultation process with business, organizations and people on the possible
implementation of the LNP initiative in the Humber, the proposal presented last week builds on the information
and inputs received during the consultation.

If you would like to comment on any of the codes, please contact us and your comments will be
considered when the codes are next reviewed.
The Humber LNP will build on the experience gained improving the ecology of industrial owned sites using volunteer groups.
The Memorandum of Understanding already existing between them will cement coherence between the different elements of the Humber LNP.
The project will produce a shared view of the future management of the estuary, and will be delivered.
It will also seek to build on the established partnership to consider how to broaden
to prepare for applying to be recognised as a Local Nature Partnership later in 2012.

Contributing to a strategic view "Humber Vision": Identify key priorities for an integrated vision of the region.
The development project of the Humber-LNP focuses on the geographical area of the Humber Estuary;
discussions for the creation of a structure, specifically for the Humber.
New government funding has been secured to bring organisations and people together
to plan for the long term management of the Humber Estuary.
Together with neighbouring counties the Humber has a rare opportunity to become a
national scale centre for offshore wind power generation, bio-technology and bio.
The magazine is being distributed to public and private sectors, to HCF members and contacts and will also be
available in places of public interest within the region.
These include key sections at Pyewipe and two sections covering the north Lincolnshire coast
from Grimsby to Anthony’s Bank which is a vitally important.
Winter refuge for hundreds of Black-tailed Godwits amongst other species, and the large mudflats between Patrington and Easington.

The funding for the project has come from the Defra Local Nature Partnership Capacity Fund, administered by Natural England,
which is a one off fund to support capacity building activities that will help people to prepare for applying to be recognised
as a Local Nature Partnership later in 2012.

Venture in Humber Estuary

As the second largest coastal plain estuary in the United Kingdom, Humber Estuary displays stunning scenery and amazing wildlife that need to be preserved for as much as possible. It is the home of many species of birds and animals who have found here a tiny heaven on earth. Formed when the pre-existing valleys were flooded with the water from the ice melted at the end of the last glaciation, Humber Estuary is definitely a place that you should visit in your lifetime.

Explore the wilderness of Humber Estuary

Due to the fact that so many species live in this area, many nature conservation destinations under UK, International and European law protect it. The river might seem dirty because it is brown, but it is actually healthy and populated with millions of species. The waters of the estuary are laden with sediment that originates from both riverine and marine sources. In addition to this, the eroding boulder clay of the Holderness coast results in sediment as well.

Semi-permanent islands constantly appear in Humber Estuary and they provide wonderful scenery that appeals the eye. Samphire beds, saltmarsh, sandbanks, lovely birds and curious fish can be met all over Humber Estuary. But if you ever arrive here you must explore the cities Kingston upon Hull, Goole, Barton upon Humber and Immingham. Photograph the famous Humber Bridge that connects Barton with Kingston upon Hull then go for a shopping session in one of these two cities.

The Humber Estuary is the perfect getaway for any nature lover. Instead of spending your weekend at home, you should come here to relax and reconnect with nature. It is a break that we all need after a challenging week at work. The peaceful ambiance, cheerful birds and lovely green all around you will embrace you, relieving you from the stress gathered for so long.

Intertidal sandflats and mudflats are the place where you will see many charming species. In the coastal lagoons and on the sand dunes can be found unique flora and fauna such as samphire, saltmarshes, tentacle lagoon worm and starlet sea anemone. The grey seals look funny and playful and the seal pups growing here seem to invite you to play together. But some of the birds you will meet here are extremely rare and you are not likely to see them in other parts of the globe.

Interesting flora and fauna

Avocet, Bittern, Marsh Harrier, Little Tern, Golden Plover, Hen Harrier and Bar-tailed Godwit are some species in danger of extinction that you can photograph in Humber Estuary. The Sea Lamprey looks frightening and it is one of the most primitive of all living vertebrates. This interesting fish attaches to other fishes and paralyzes them by sucking their blood and other body fluids. They do not have jaws or boney structures, yet they have managed to survive on earth for more than 340 million years.

Visit Humber Estuary and you will not get bored here. Enjoy the silence, venture in the wilderness and take care where you will step! Grab your camera and enjoy photographing one of the most appreciated areas in UK!
